#GARDNER ART THROUGH THE AGES 13TH EDITION PROFESSIONAL#
Through professional development, service, advancement of knowledge, and leadership. NAEA's mission is to advance art education Professional art education association and a leader in educational research, The subsequent editions by multiple contributors have retained Gardner's vision of an art history text that goes beyond "Outlines."įounded in 1947, The National Art Education Association is the world's largest
Thus Gardner's words and ideas live on through the first three editions of her book. The longevity of the book and the "missionary zeal" with which Gardner set out to write it provide my rationale for calling this article the "Bible of Art History." This article examines three issues: (a) What is the influence of Art Through the Ages within the historical context of art education (b) How have the contents of the book helped to keep it in print continuously for seven decades and (c) How has Gardner, an art educator, contributed to the success of her book? In the 1920s there were many art history books, but few authors could match Gardner's ability to write in a single volume, in concise and clear English, about the art history of the world. In the intervening 70 years, the book has undergone many structural and editorial changes.
The first edition of this book was published in 1926, and the tenth edition became available in 1996. Art Through the Ages by Helen Gardner chronicles the art of the world.
